Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE-OMI) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013, including consolidated quarterly revenues of $2.28 billion, an increase of 2.6%, when compared to revenues of $2.22 billion in the first quarter of 2012. Movianto, a leading European healthcare logistics provider acquired by Owens & Minor on August 31, 2012, contributed $121.0 million to first quarter revenues.

For the first quarter of 2013, consolidated net income was $26.1 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the same period last year. For the quarter, adjusted consolidated net income (non-GAAP), which excludes pre-tax charges of $2.0 million for acquisition-related and exit & realignment activities, was $27.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

"In looking at our quarterly results, we see that Owens & Minor is adapting to a changing healthcare market and is investing in areas that will provide us with opportunities for the future," said Craig R. Smith, president & chief executive officer of Owens & Minor. "We continue to invest in our Domestic business to ensure that we have the necessary flexibility to serve our customers in healthcare. Internationally, we are working intently to integrate Movianto, fill excess capacity in the network, and reduce the cost structure. As we work through the integration, we remain excited about the opportunities in Europe."

Adjusted consolidated operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2013 were $49.9 million, or 2.19% of revenues, decreased $2.0 million, when compared to operating earnings of $51.9 million, or 2.34% of revenues, in the same period of 2012. The quarterly decline in consolidated operating earnings resulted primarily from an International segment operating loss of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2013. For purposes of comparison, the first quarter 2012 results did not contain results from the company's international operations.

Segment Results

Domestic segment revenues for the first quarter of 2013 were $2.15 billion, a decline of 2.8% when compared to the prior year's first quarter revenue of $2.22 billion. On a per-sales-day basis, quarterly revenue declined by 1.3%. When compared to the prior year, the decline in first quarter Domestic segment revenues was partially due to rationalization of smaller, less profitable healthcare provider customers and suppliers. First quarter Domestic revenues were also affected by ongoing trends, including lower hospital utilization and reduced government purchases.

For the first quarter of 2013, Domestic segment operating earnings were $52.9 million, or 2.46% of revenues, an increase of $1.0 million, when compared to operating earnings of $51.9 million, or 2.34% of revenues, in the same period of 2012. Domestic segment operating earnings benefitted from supplier price changes, partially offset by an increase in workers' compensation and consulting expenses.

The International segment contributed revenue of $121.0 million for the first quarter of 2013 and had a pre-tax operating loss of $3.0 million, which reduced consolidated net income per diluted share by $0.04. The quarterly operating loss resulted primarily from operating costs to support underutilized capacity.

Asset Management

The balance of cash and cash equivalents was $219 million at March 31, 2013, increased by $121 million from $98 million at December 31, 2012. For the first quarter of 2013, the company reported cash provided by operating activities of approximately $155 million compared to $102 million for the same period last year; results included a $98.2 million increase in accounts payable. Asset management metrics were strong with Domestic segment days sales outstanding (DSO) of 19.6 days as of March 31, 2013, compared to DSO of 19.9 days as of March 31, 2012. Domestic segment inventory turns were 10.6 for the first quarter of 2013, compared to inventory turns of 10.5 for the same period last year.

2013 Outlook

The company reaffirmed its financial guidance for 2013, which remains unchanged since it was provided at the company's November 2012 Investor Day.

For 2013, the company is targeting revenue growth of 2% to 4% and adjusted net income per diluted share of $1.90 to $2.00 for the year, which includes operating results from the Movianto acquisition, but excludes exit and realignment costs, as well as acquisition-related costs.

The 2013 outlook is based on certain assumptions that are subject to the risk factors discussed in the company's filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In general, the measures exclude items and charges that (i) management does not believe reflect Owens & Minor, Inc.'s (the "Company") core business and relate more to strategic, multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company's performance, evaluate the balance sheet, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on its financial and operating results and in comparing the Company's performance to that of its competitors. However, the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
